Most recently (before Telus gave me an offer I couldn't refuse) I was on Lightspeed as they offered the best prices for the speed I wanted. I've also been with Teksavvy in the past and was happy with them.

@stealth_cookies@lemmy.ca I was with Lightspeed before but in my experience it was kinda shit, it'd go down often enough to be a bother or limit the speed to something lower than I was paying for :/
I've heard of Teksavvy, why did you switch away from them?
The only issues I ever had with reliability on Lightspeed was due to the last mile infrastructure run by Shaw/Rogers that affected their customers as well. My speeds were almost always a bit higher than I paid for.
Teksavvy was just expensive in comparison.
I'm assuming you aren't in a Novus building? If you are they are supposed to be a good choice.
@stealth_cookies@lemmy.ca oooh, no, I live in a house with no Novus unfortunately. Might return to Lightspeed...
We've been with Lighspeed for 15 years. No complaints.
I'm using Oxio, quit Telus about 2 months ago. Had to buy my own router tho, the router Oxio supplies needs google play services to set up, which I dont use.
@LoonyLenny@lemdro.id hadn't heard of them, gonna take a look, thanks!
They're all bad. Keep switching if you can to keep prices low
@alsimoneau@lemmy.ca looking for the lesser evil and minimizing the things I have to do 🫠
